Sound Point taps Deutsche Bank CLO veteran

Sound Point Capital Management hired Francis McCullough as global head of collateralized loan obligation (CLO) capital markets and structuring. He joins after 16 years at Deutsche Bank where he most recently was managing director and global head of new issue CLOs. While at the bank, he worked in both New York and London and was responsible for originating, structuring and syndicating collateralized loan obligations. Officials at Sound Point said he brings a wealth of experience in corporate debt securitization and managing complex multi-party transactions. Francis McCullough “Several of us have known Francis for years and worked with him in his capacity as head of Deutsche Bank’s CLO group,” said Stephen Ketchum, founder and managing partner of Sound Point, which is a credit specialist with $21 billion in AUM. “His deep experience in the CLO market aligns perfectly with the continued expansion of our platform.” The firm manages $15 billion across 25 CLOs in both the U.S. and Europe, which McCullough said made the move an easy choice. Based in New York, Sound Point manages money on behalf of institutions, pensions, foundations, insurance companies, wealth management firms, family offices and high-net-worth individuals. Sound Point’s strategies span the spectrum of liquid and illiquid credit alternatives and include funds and managed accounts focused on leveraged loans, CLOs, long/short credit opportunities and distressed credit.
